Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates lately. I haven’t played more than a few hours of DA: I over the past couple months. University has been taking up most of my time, and working on my Witcher site.

Well that, and I’ve also been playing lots of Path of Exile (best indie game ever). Having said that though, I will still continue posting new DA: I content. And hopefully the DLC is coming out sometime soon! (more…)

This list is for standalone, legacy Dragon Age: Inquisition, so it only lists the best gear that is available before any DLC/extra game content.

I’ve been wanting to try a build that doesn’t require any specializations for the mage class, and this was the result. This build takes spells in every mage tree (Spirit, Storm, Inferno, and Winter) with the aim of having access to a lot of different tools. (more…)

I’ve seen the Two-handed DPS Champion build being mentioned quite a bit so I decided to try it out for myself. This is arguably the easiest and most effective way to solo the game, although it does require you to be relatively high level (15+) to pull off. (more…)

Here’s a short and sweet guide to arguably the most powerful specialization/build in the game – the Knight-Enchanter Mage. This build will give you unrivaled damage and survivability. The basic idea behind this build is to constantly be generating barrier so that you never take damage, while dishing out massive amounts of DPS.

Note: For your 8th ability, you can either take Resurgence (Knight-Enchanter Focus skill) or use Mark of the Rift if you are playing this build on your Inquisitor. It is really up to you which skill you prefer – Resurgence is better for helping your party survive, while Mark of the Rift is better for pure damage.

Basic Gameplay:

Activate Barrier either yourself, or from another mage.

Get into melee range with enemies. You can also use Fade Step to do this, especially to reach ranged targets like archers and mages.

Start spamming Spirit Blade, Fade Cloak, and Fire Mine. These are your 3 main abilities for this build – they all deal high damage, and help you generate even more barrier. Prioritize using Fire Mine first as it will deal the highest damage, especially with the Chaotic Focus passive.

Use Dispel whenever necessary (IE, dispelling the green Rifts when demons are spawning to kill them instantly).
